June 22 is National Chocolate Eclair Day! The eclair is a wonder of a dessert originating in France. It’s made using choux pastry, which is filled with cream and topped with chocolate icing.

Most often, eclairs are served as dessert, but I’ve heard of them being eaten for breakfast too.
If you feel like celebrating, make your own eclairs with Emeril’s eclair recipe. He uses a real cream filling — not instant vanilla pudding (as found in long johns).
Are you going to eat an eclair today?
